    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Yes, but we did not have a car when I lived there

            Not having a car in Russia is (was) hardly suprising. I'm told by someone who has visited there since during Communist times that "petrol stations" consisted of a tanker pulling up at a corner, after which a queue of customers would swiftly form. Roads between major cities were/are useless. (I guess all travel is/was by train or plane.)

                Ice on windscreen in the morning?
                No Problem!

                Simply instruct your wife to warm up the car for you (about 5 mins before you are going to leave)!

                Simples!

                  The last thing you want a population to be that you're trying to oppress is to be independently mobile.
